After testing positive for COVID-19, Amari Cooper missed Sunday's Cowboys loss to the Chiefs and will be out for the Thanksgiving Day game on Thursday against the Raiders.
After his positive test, reports emerged that Cooper has not been vaccinated against the coronavirus, hence the early call on his status for Thursday. Unvaccinated players must wait 10 days to clear protocols, whereas those who have been vaccinated can be cleared if they test negative twice within a 24 hour period.
The Cowboys' wide receivers have been hit by injuries in recent weeks. CeeDee Lamb went down on Sunday afternoon after hitting his head on the turf and entered concussion protocol.
